The U.S. trade union movement finds itself today on a
global battlefield filled with landmines and littered with
the bodies of various social movements and struggles.
Candid, incisive, and accessible, Solidarity Divided is a
critical examination of labor's current crisis and a plan
for a bold new way forward into the twenty-first century.
Bill Fletcher and Fernando Gapasin, two longtime union
insiders whose experiences as activists of color grant them
a unique vantage on the problems now facing U.S. labor,
offer a remarkable mix of vivid history and probing
analysis. They chart changes in U.S. manufacturing, examine
the onslaught of globalization, consider the influence of
the environment on labor, and provide the first broad
analysis of the fallout from the 2000 and 2004 elections on
the U.S. labor movement. Ultimately calling for a wide-
ranging reexamination of the ideological and structural
underpinnings of today's labor movement, this is essential
reading for understanding how the battle for social justice
can be fought and won.
